Area Description

At each end of the property there are one acre parcels with seasonal residences. After that, the river flat ends and the redwoods begin. There are a couple of residences a mile up-river and one up hill from the site but otherwise you are in peaceful seclusion. Fort Bragg and Mendocino are right on the coast and are popular tourist destinations. There are many good resturants, one movie theater and several very good live music and local theater venues. The ocean provides breath taking views, excellent fishing and whale watching excursions. Divers travel from afar in search of the still plentiful abalone. While known for its outdoors activities, the wide selection of antique stores, boutiques, resturants, botanical gardens and many state parks will keep busy and entertained.
